GTA IV Problem

[evolvedbullet]

I did a bit of research on the web and I got this correlating with my problem:

-The resolution is too high within the game, saying it is 'out of range'
-I could have a resolution along with an exceedingly high refresh rate

None of these happened to me. I turned off my computer last night and when I turn on my computer again when trying to GTA, it gives me this. It worked perfectly fine last night, what is happening right now?

How about stating the exact error message? System specs? Monitor size/resolution? Video card? Anything. Otherwise, let me google that for you.

Edit: Looks like you're having other problems too. Maybe related?

You are having a lot of problems with GTA IV! Maybe the refresh rate you chose is higher than your monitor?

I did google it and I have listed the errors I spoke of. It says OUT OF RANGE on my computer monitor when I maximize the screen or when the game is starting.

It might be related, I'm not too sure but we'll see.

Sam, I don't know how to fix the refresh rate on the game. Anyone know how? Plus if I have to put into a Target Line format, it will not work since I have tried it already unless if you find one the works. I tried this:

"C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\GTAIV.exe" -width 1680 -height 1050 -refreshrate 60

Also at 800x600 with a refresh rate of either 60 or 40 will not work. It is clearly something wrong but I don't know if it's the game's fault or the computers.

Again, system specs, monitor model...? Apparently you are trying to run at 1680x1050@60Hz. Is this the native resolution of your display? Try running in windowed mode maybe.

Yes, I would agree. Try and run the game on windowed mode and see if it runs properly.
